OS the next Presidential election, the solid south will in all probability be broken by at least one state is not three, boltinR the Democratic party.

West Nirginia's resources need but develop ment to make her one of the richest states in the Union and now that this is being done and her people enjoying 8 corresponding amount of prosperity it IS hardly to be expected of them to, by their own votes in the Electoral Col Iege Of the nation, block the wheels of their own progress.

Darlington IS & good man snd straight ont repubh- can. we believe, but with all this, there seems to be something wrong when democratic papers go out of their way to urge the claims of any man npon the party of opposite political faith. Con hicting bo1ies are not prone to allow opposing forces to nominate their lead CTS; this must be done by themselves, or oyer they go to the enemies. camp. We believe that MT. Darlington would make g good delegate and further, we do not believe that he is a party to this demo cratic laudation, as he we'll knows the republicans are sbundantly able to take care of themselves and are but little likely to obey the instructions or accept the advice of the democracy or any of their organs.

Occasionally one seals an envelope with out an incl0sUre, or after addressing and stamping it thinks of something frnpor- tant that should have been added to the letter One way out of the dilemma is to take an eight inch piece of steel wire, bent at a right angle in the center ito be held easily and of diameter half that of n lead pencil and inserting one end under the outside lap at one corner slowly crowd toward the center of the envelope. Keep the round steel exactly across the gum streak Or the lap will be torn. Arriving al the center start down in the same way from the other corner.

Senator Hearst's Son Dared by a
Woman.
From, the Cincinnati ENQUIRER,

SAN Francisco. Dec. 9.--MisS Vernona Bald
win who gained some notoriety not long ago
by her attempt 10 shoot Lucky Baldwin. whom
she claims as a relative, and who, She says. be-
trayed her, has again attracted attention TO her
self by sending a challenge to mortal combat to
young Hearst editor of the Examiner and son
of United States Senator Hearst. Hearst pub
lished an article in the Examiner rejecting
somewhat upon Miss Baldwin, and she replied
with a challenge, after having designated him
as mean coward" In her challenge, she
SAYS 81 dare you to meet me on the Mexican
frontier with repeating rifles would willingly
pay all expenses, but having no funds, am com
PEELED to ask you to defray them. / will permit
you TO choose your own seconds in San Fran
cisco, while will wait until | get to Mexico,
gentlemen"
Hearst has paid no attention to the challenge,
and in all probability he will not.
